The student activist who once called for repatriation of immigrants is now seen as socially liberal. It's a similar path to that followed by Michael Portillo and Iain Duncan Smith, while the man most often seen at Gordon Brown's side in PMQs is the former Tory MP Shaun Woodward.

While not exactly being the opposite of the old axiom (variously attributed to Churchill, Bernard Shaw, Georges Clemenceau and others) that "one who is not a socialist at 20 has no heart, and one who remains a socialist at 40 has no head", it suggests not everyone's political journey goes from left to right. But what about you? Did you once sell Workers Hammer before finding yourself siding with the CEOs? Or would you rather now hug 'em than flog 'em? How have your political allegiances changed with the passing years?
